q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? Teachers' focus changed during three semesters from a general level to a detailed level, described as an increased ability to analyze the critical features of the learning object. → Mona Holmqvist 2011 q2 i? In the first cycle teachers' discussions were dominated by method, while in later cycles they discussed the learning object in detail and revised instructional materials accordingly. → Mona Holmqvist 2011 (2)

The author's interpretation of the three learning study cycles: the movement from a general to a detailed level is described as "an increased ability to analyze the critical features of the learning object", traced through the teachers' planning meetings and revised work sheets.

"The two most important results are, firstly, the teachers' increased ability to discern critical features of a learning object in relation to the pupils' ability to learn. And secondly, the teachers changed their way(s) of offering the pupils the object of learning, from a more general way to a much more specified content-related way."

Analysis of the teachers' meetings in cycle A shows method-dominated discussion, whereas in study B "the teachers had clearly shifted their attention to content" and revised the work sheet used in all three lessons.

"In this first learning study cycle (A), it was methods that dominated in the discussions with the teachers, in line with category (a) of Gustavsson's work (Gustavsson 2008)."
